Pros:

Beware the airport shuttle

If you’re going to be staying here and trying to use their shuttle to access both the airport and ferry beware. They may or may not have the staff to accommodate you as of September 2025.

Pros:

We were refugees from a flight cancelation due to a storm. We picked the cheapest place within walking distance of downtown. This is a modest motel with a popular restaurant next door. A convenience store shares the parking lot where we found sandwiches for dinner since the weather was truly terrible. The staff are just wonderful, friendly and helpful. The next day they took us back to the airport in their courtesy van. I would stay here again.

Execlente hotel! Adorei
Pros:

Hotel otimo, quarto grande, com facilidades como fregobar, cafeteira e um mini closet. Fica ao lado do museu de juneau e 10min a pé de downtown. Ao lado do hotel tem um lugar otimo para cafe da manha e almoco. O Hotel oferece transfer gratuito do/para o aeroporto, mas é necessario agendar com eles.

Pros:

Great location for walking into town and enjoyed the cafe. Room was spacious and kitchenette was very handy. The bathroom was recently remodeled and looked nice but the showerhead falls to the side and then spays all over the bathroom. I was unable to turn the heat down in the unit and was too hot at night.

Pros:

The rooms are nice and specious. Everything is clean. The location is very good, very close to downtown. What we did not like is that they did not do our room every day.

Pros:

It's Alaska, so it's different. We live in Fairbanks and were meeting family that flew in from the lower 48 and were boarding a cruise. It was a turn-and-burn, one-night stay. The hotel room was super clean, bed was super comfy, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room was close (walkable) to an IGA grocery store, a liquor store, and an Alaska State museum. Totally recommend!
